Shower tray repair & resurfacing in East Carlton, Northamptonshire
Fixed-price shower tray repair in East Carlton and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Shower tray repair in East Carlton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we’re called out for in East Carlton
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
